What Have You Been Putting Off?

Hey Friend,

You know that thing you’ve been dodging forever? Yeah, that one. We all have it. During yesterday's accountability call, we asked: "What's something you can do today that you've been putting off for way too long?"

And guess what? It lit a fire under everyone. People were getting stuff done that’s been collecting dust for months. The vibe was 🔥, and honestly, it felt amazing to see the whole crew crush it.

Look, we all procrastinate—it’s part of the game. But sometimes, you just need a tiny push to get out of your own way. So, consider this email your friendly shove.

What’s your thing? 

The email you haven’t sent? The client you need to follow up with? That piece of content sitting half-written? Whatever it is, it’s time to stop thinking about it and just do the damn thing.

Here’s your action plan. It’s simple:

1. Name it: What’s the task you’ve been avoiding? (You know exactly what it is)

2. Do the first tiny step: Don’t overcomplicate it. If it’s an email, write one sentence. If it’s a project, spend 10 minutes on it.

3. Tell someone: Share your goal with a friend, a fellow freelancer, or on one of our morning calls. Accountability works.

That’s it. Seriously. No magic formula here. Just start.

I get it, though—it’s easier to keep putting things off. But you know what feels way better? Getting it done and not having it hang over your head anymore.

Here’s the real talk

You’ll never feel “ready.” Perfect timing? It’s a myth. The key is to just begin, however imperfectly. Start messy, start small, but START.

And hey, I get a lot of inspiration from fellow freelancers too. My co-founder got an email yesterday that hit hard:

Says it all, right? There’s someone waiting on you to take that next step. They’re not worried about it being perfect—they just want to hear from you, work with you, or see what you’ve been cooking up.

Your Move

What’s the one thing you’ve been putting off? Reply to this email, let me know, and I’ll check in with you. No pressure, just support from someone who’s been there.

You’ve got this. We’re in your corner.
